Copy/paste broken in iOS, no longer include verse reference or numbers.
At some point there was an update that broke copy paste. How do I revert this?
Before, when I copied a verse and pasted it, it would include the verse reference, translation, and verse numbers, something like this:
Matthew 7:9-11 (KJV1900): 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Now this is totally broken. Now if I select a verse, copy, then paste elsewhere, this is what I get:
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?The Holy Bible: King James Version
2009
Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.
What gives? If I copy a verse from the Bible, I would expect it to list the reference. This is nearly useless to me. I don’t want to have to manually type out the reference every time I copy a verse.
The second way to copy (from the share menu) is a little better but still lacking:
"Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

This way has a reference link, which is cool, but still isn’t easy to quickly read what to bible verse actually is. Please help, how do I fix copy/paste so it’s actually useful?

As you say there was a change - introduced to enable better resource citation.
To disable it, go to settings, select the Citation settings option and toggle off Copy citations
It would be helpful if these citations - even when on - were disabled for Bibles but enabled for other books. This suggestion has been made to the Logos team.
